Ferren'Silver Eagle Vineyard' Pinot Noir 2019

Silver Eagle Vineyard is the grower vineyard in which vintner and winemaker Matt Courtney has been sourcing from since his debut 2013 vintage. It is located atop Stoetz Ridge, the second ridgeline in from the Pacific Coastthat divides the remote Sonoma Coast from the Russian River Valley. It gets the best of both worlds- the cooling breezes from the Pacific Ocean and the warmth of the interior valley. This 2019 offers notes of wild berry fruit backed by secondary notes of fresh forest floor and subtle spice. The tannins are polished and well-integrated, making this a sophisticated Pinot Noir. Matt Courtney is a perfectionist when it comes to making Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. After eight years most recently making wine at Marcassin, Matt now concentrates his efforts on Ferren and Arista, another great Pinot and Chard house on Westside Road in Russian River Valley. 62 cases were produced.
